PS Plus in March: Tomb Raider and Dead Nation: Apocalypse Edition

Sony PS Store and Plus Content Manager Chris Howe is here with a peek at the PlayStation Plus March 2014 content, which includes Tomb Raider, Dead Nation: Apocalypse Edition and more!

To quote: Hi everyone. We have another huge month coming your way on PlayStation Plus this March so sit back, relax and let us take care of your gaming needs.

PlayStation 4:

Make sure you pick up the latest and greatest ever version of the PSN smash hit Dead Nation. Dead Nation: Apocalypse Edition is a top-down shoot ‘em up set in an apocalyptic zombie-infested world, from the talented developer Housemarque, famous for the Super Stardust titles and, more recently, the critically acclaimed RESOGUN.

Dead Nation: Apocalypse Edition features a full campaign mode which can be played solo or in co-op. The ‘Road to Devastation’ expansion is included too, giving you two extra game modes - Arcade and Endless, allowing you to test yourself against ever increasing odds.

PlayStation 3:

First up on PS3 this month, one of the games of 2013: Tomb Raider.

The game takes us right back to the beginning as we meet a young Lara Croft on an expedition to locate the island of Yamatai deep in the Dragons’ Triangle off the coast of Japan. Tomb Raider takes you on an adrenaline-fuelled adventure as Lara must fight to save her friends and uncover the mysteries of this dangerous island.

Next, download the acclaimed Brothers A Tale of Two Sons and embark on an epic fairy tale adventure through villages, hills and mountains, solving puzzles and challenges in an effort to save your ill father by collecting the water from the tree of life.

In this unique title you control each brother simultaneously using the Dualshock analogue sticks allowing you to experience co-op play in a single player mode like never before.

PS Vita:

First up on PS Vita this month is an addictive title that I am sure you won’t be able to put down: Pixeljunk Monsters Ultimate HD. Play as Tikiman in this critically acclaimed PSN tower defence classic. Defend his offspring from hordes of monsters using an array of weapon towers. Engage in online/ad-hoc co-op to make the most of all three islands; encounter monsters, towers and challenges from all previous editions of PixelJunk Monsters.

Finally, check out Smart As! Use cutting-edge touch, tilt and camera controls to prove how smart you are in the first ever socially networked brain game on PS Vita. Solve math, memory, logic and word puzzles, crack augmented reality challenges and sharpen your rapid-fire reflexes to storm up the online leaderboards and show off your scores to the world via Facebook and Twitter.

I like the new Dead Nation on PS4 is going to allow spectators the ability to make the game harder or easier via the Interact function. Now that seems pretty neat. Might see this game become more social.
